Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Looking at the expression of the young government officer,

Yang Luoyou ran over with hope on her face.

Seeing Zhiyue sleeping in a chair, he was about to yell angrily to wake the little girl up when he saw the little drum she was holding in her arms.

Unexpectedly, Yang Luoyou suddenly felt soft-hearted.

He knelt down in front of Zhiyue and gently pushed the little girl:

"Yueer, wake up, we are going home."

Hearing Yang Luoyou's voice, the little girl rubbed her eyes. Seeing Li Mubai wearing a government uniform, the little girl took a peek and quickly lowered her head.

Seeing Yang Luoyou holding the little girl's hand, the three of them came out from behind the bedding,

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye looked at each other happily and said:

"Ms. Yang, fortunately it was a false alarm, so I'll take my leave."

Yang Luoyou bowed deeply and said, "Thank you so much for your righteousness. I will deeply appreciate it for you, my little lady."

"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

After saying that, everyone left the yard one after another and left the place in cars and horses.

Yang Luoyou and the others followed at the end,

When I saw the young government servant being discharged from the hospital, not only had he received a reward, but there were also servants from several houses asking his name in a low voice.

Xiao Zhiyue looked at all this in confusion, still not understanding what happened!

After being separated from everyone, I returned to Yichun Lane.

Yang Luoyou closed the courtyard door, endured the pity in her heart, and came to Yang Zhiyue with the bamboo board.

"Reach out!"

Leaving the vicinity of Pan Tower,

Xu Zaijing sat on the carriage and opened the curtain.

Let the breeze from outside the car blow in, and the face that was a little hot from drinking cooled down a little.

While looking at the still busy street scene outside the car and listening to the sounds of various hawkers and conversations,

A group of dandy boys riding horses came into Xu Zaijing's field of vision.

The face of the leader looked familiar, Xu Zaijing searched his memory:

‘Oh, that Prince Yong who was captured by me and Gu Tingye. ’

I haven't seen him in the past few years, and he seems to be getting weaker.

This prince is also accompanied by the princes such as Lu Sanlang, the Duke of Lingguo, and Han Wulang of the Han Dynasty, whom Xu Zaijing is familiar with.

One of the people in the group felt Xu Zaijing's gaze and looked over.

But it was the son of the Housha family in Zhongshan who caused trouble at the temple fair outside the city last year. When he saw Xu Zaijing, he crossed his legs and turned his head with an unnatural look on his face.

After Xu Zaijing's carriage passed by this group of people,

Only then did they see a dark-skinned young man following behind them, smiling and talking to an enthusiastic person.

When the enthusiastic man on horseback looked towards Xu Zaijing's carriage, he only saw the curtains blown by the wind.

At this moment, Lu Sanlang in front turned back and said, "Brother Han, come and tell me how you found the person who took the medicine."

The man nodded politely to the dark-faced young man and rode after him.

Prince Yong looked at Qin Chihan and nodded with a smile: "Tell me?"

"With this, his life is no longer life, but he is"

"If you die under a pomegranate skirt, you can be considered a romantic ghost."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Your Majesty, you don't know that that person has been having sex all his life."

The dark-faced young man following them listened to their conversation, licked his lips, and hid the sneer at the corner of his mouth.

I thought to myself: I am a barbarian, but these people in front of me are really beasts.

No, it should be worse than an animal!

When everyone entered the building of Feiyuntai,

Prince Yong and Qin Chihan walked at the end,

It might involve an exchange of hobbies, and other people like Han, Lu and others went upstairs early because they knew what they were interested in.

Listening to the laughter behind me,

I vaguely heard the word "Fuhou".

Han Chengyun and Lu Sanlang looked at each other.

When Xu Zaijing returned to the Hou Mansion, his mother had not arrived home yet.

After drinking some sobering tea in the yard, Xu Zaijing went to the racecourse again to bond with the three pre-teen horses at home.

Looking at the horse's sleek fur reflecting the setting sun, and Xu Zaijing beside the horse,

Master's single eye was full of smiles.

In the evening,

After returning home, Mrs. Sun and her two daughters-in-law all ate a basket of good melons specially set aside by Xu Zaijing.

I was praised a few times by my mother and sister-in-law for being sensible.

On the second day,

Xu Zaijing resumed his usual training and schooling.

But the weather is slowly getting hotter.

Fortunately, there are big trees in the yard where the lecture hall is located, and the temperature of the lecture hall under the shade of the trees is quite cool and suitable.

The clothes of everyone in Shengjia Academy are also in season change.

Xu Zaijing, who has always been in good shape, simply put on summer clothes and wore a thin cloak in the morning and evening.

Princess Pingning asked Qi Heng to bring some folding fans as summer gifts to the scholars and classmates.

A few more days passed,

As the day of the government examination approaches, the weather in Bianjing is getting hotter and hotter.

But on the day of the government examination, it started to rain and the temperature dropped suddenly.

It's still dark,

Because the rain is still a bit heavy,

The students of Shengjia Academy did not get together as before.

But each went his own way,

Xu Zaijing's plan to absorb Changbai's literary energy failed temporarily.

Outside the examination room, Xu Zaijing was sitting in a carriage, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the carriage, while re-checking the contents of his book box.

Everything is in order.

Opening the car door, a cold wind mixed with raindrops blew over, giving Xu Zaijing a layer of goosebumps.

Taking the oil-paper umbrella from the hand of Qingyun, who was wearing a raincoat,

Qingyun said: "Master, according to your instructions, all the extra umbrellas brought by the house have been distributed to those who did not bring umbrellas."

Xu Zaijing: "Well, where is the second brother?"

"Third Young Master has arrived at the gate of Gongyuan."

After asking, Xu Zaijing got out of the carriage.

Walking to the carriage of my mother and sister-in-law who came to take the exam,

The carriage door is open,

After Xu Zaijing said a few words, he walked towards the examination room without letting them get off the carriage.

Looking at Xu Zaijing's back, Ms. Xie said from the side: "Mother-in-law, our Xiaowu is really good at taking care of herself."

Hualan looked at Xu Zaijing's attire, nodded in agreement, and then looked at his own officials at the gate of the Gongyuan in the distance.

Holding an umbrella, I felt the waterproof leather on the boots under my feet, and the thin, slightly waterproof cloak covering my body.

Xu Zaijing took a deep breath of fresh air.

Walking in the rain, feeling the dryness on his body, but not getting wet due to the rain, Xu Zaijing actually felt a little bit of happiness.

After the soldier finished checking his belongings, Xu Zaijing wrapped himself in leather again and walked into the examination room holding an umbrella.

When Xu Zaijing was placing his belongings in the dormitory, he could hear someone sneezing from time to time.

It rained in the morning and became sunny the next day.

When the sky gets brighter, the sun rises,

After the exam questions are announced,

While Xu Zaijing was quietly answering questions in the dormitory, the sun actually looked like midsummer, shining fiercely on the ground, and the higher ground in the Gongyuan was dried.

Without the coolness of the morning, the weather has become hot and dry again.

Xu Zaijing quietly took off his leather boots, took out a pair of light and breathable shoes from his bag and put them on.

Continue to answer questions refreshingly and comfortably.

Xu Zaizhang, who was in another dormitory, looked at the casual shoes in his hand and wondered whether he should wear them.

When he came to Gongyuan from the Xu Mansion, his younger brother asked him to get an extra pair of casual shoes, but he didn't agree with it. Hua Lan said that he was prepared before they were stuffed into his book box.

Feeling the heat and moisture of the leather boots on the soles of his feet, Xu Zaizhang whispered: "This is because my wife loves me."

He also changed his shoes as he spoke.

The procedures for the Dazhou Prefectural Examination and the County Examination are similar.

Towards evening, Xu Zaijing handed in his papers and left the Gongyuan with his book box and a salute.

At this time, the sky cleared up, and the outside of the Gongyuan was full of anxiously waiting family members.

Xu Zaijing handed the things to Qingyun, saluted Qi Guogong and his wife, and Sheng Hong and his wife, and then prepared to get in the car with his family.

Before entering the carriage, I saw many middle-aged people walking out of the Gongyuan.

The government examination is over,

Shengjia Academy took a rest for two days.

this day,

Xu Zaijing and his classmates came together to see the official results.

Several of them come from well-off families, have been studying since childhood, and have famous teachers like Zhuang Xuexue.

Naturally, they all passed.

However, Sheng Changbai, Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, and Xu Zaizhang are all ranked in the top thirty.

Qi Heng and Chang Feng are still at the bottom of the list.

Several people announced the good news to their families in high spirits.

There were also many people around who looked quite young, looking hard at the list, and finally shook their heads and left sadly.

Seeing this, Xu Zaijing thought of the Sheng family's big house for some reason.

Over the years, the Sheng Family Dafang initially had help from the Cao family, Xu family, and Sun family, and later developed cooperative relationships with the Gu family, Bai family, Liang family, etc.

Nowadays, the official relationship between the Sheng family and the big house is no longer limited to Sheng Hong, so business is much better than before.

The Sheng family is already the richest family in Youyang.

The family's property, even if it goes to a big city like Yangzhou, is worth a lot.

Xu Zaijing also thought that he and his classmates were taking the government examination.

There is no college examination this year and there won’t be one until next year.

Only those who pass the college examination can be called a scholar.

Xu Zaijing naturally also knew that the eldest sister of their family, Sheng Shulan, had chosen Youyang, a student who became a scholar at the age of twelve and lost his father when he was young.

That is, the famous "Prime Minister Gin Miao" Sun Xiucai.

I also know that Sun Xiucai will always be a "gin seedling" in the future, and he will be forced to make peace with Shulan in the end.

But that's in the future

Just looking at the current rankings in the government examination, after another year of study, it is still unclear whether Qi Heng and Chang Feng can pass next year's college examination.

But the family background, study conditions, and teachers of these two people,

This is very different from Sun Xiucai, who lost his father when he was young, had a widowed mother doing laundry, and was supported by his clan members.

Looking at it from today's perspective, Sun Xiucai, who passed the college examination at the age of twelve, was worthy of Prime Minister Genmiao's praise and expectations.

When looking at Sun Xiucai, the Sheng family always had a blind-box mentality, hoping that one day he would pass the provincial examination and then take the test again.

pity

Thinking of this, Xu Zaijing shook his head, if the boy would be nicer to say more,

But Sheng Shulan was a woman, and the families in Bianjing held high positions. No matter who mentioned it, even if it was Hua Lan, people would think wrong: some people might think that Zai Zhang wanted to take a concubine.

Xu Zaijing thought again that only time is the most convincing thing about the future.

Now that I say it, those who don't know would think that they are coveting the marriage to the big house of the Sheng family.

Let the Sheng family break off the engagement?

Hiss. This script is a bit familiar. There is no high chance that Sun Xiucai will become popular.

Xu Zaijing shook his head again.

Princess Pingning on the side smiled and touched Qi Heng's head.

Looking at the proud Qi Heng, Princess Pingning wanted to say something, but by chance, Princess Pingning saw Xu Zaijing, who was looking thoughtful and shaking his head.

"Heng'er, look at your Xu family brother, who is ranked higher than you, but he keeps shaking his head."

"Mother, is Brother Jing dissatisfied with his ranking?"

Princess Pingning nodded and said: "Otherwise? See the wise and think of them all!"

Seeing the Xu family, the princess thought of Pingmei and his wife again, and said, "And don't be happy, think about your uncle Gu Jiayu's ranking in the college examination."

"Mom, the child knows. I will definitely continue to study hard in the future!"

"You are such an obedient and good boy. Mother's love for you is not in vain."

After hearing what Princess Pingning said, Duke Qi smiled and nodded.

not far away,

Xu Zaijing sighed again,

He thought of a person, Zhao Meifeng.

The spy chief of Yangzhou Prefecture might be able to ask him to teach Sun Xiucai a lesson.

never mind,

In the eyes of others, he is just a stranger.

I care so much about Shulan,

Xu Zaijing has no doubt about Zhaomeifeng’s strength.

He was afraid that Zhaomeifeng would send Shulan directly to Bianjing.

Don't be afraid of owing money, the Xu family has money.

It's scary to owe a favor because you don't know how to repay it properly.

Moreover, the Imperial City Department is directly under the emperor, so he cannot use it too much.

not to mention,

In the TV series or the original novel, Shulan is in this situation.

First, as the eldest daughter of the eldest family member, she has to worry about the reputation of the eldest family member or even the second family member and the future marriage of her younger sister, so she can only suffer in the fire pit of the Sun family;

Secondly, it may be that Sheng Wei and his wife handled the problem improperly. As a low-status businessman in Dazhou, they were somewhat restrained in doing things and could not play the role of their parents' family, or even had the opposite effect;

Let Shulan actually become the hostage of the Sun family. The Sun family pinched Shulan when they were short of money.

When Shulan cried, the Sheng family gave money to the shop.

Vicious cycle.

But in the past few years, the Sheng family’s big house has dealt with all the top nobles in Bianjing.

In the case of Sheng Wei and his wife, perhaps things will change.

If the Sheng family’s big house remains the same as before,

So, let’s talk.

After all, Xu Zaijing had a perfect answer to deal with Sun Xiucai in his mind.

Thinking of these, Xu Zaijing laughed at himself.

In the afternoon after watching the list,

A lot of firecrackers were set off at the Duke of Qi's Mansion in Xingguofang and the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion.

The servants of the two families bought a lot of meat buns and cooking cakes on the street and gave them to passers-by for free.

Porridge shacks were even set up in places where there were many beggars.

Of course, the scale of these actions of Ningyuan Houfu is naturally incomparable with Gu Tingyu's previous ranking. After all, Gu Tingye still has several levels to pass.

The Yongyi Hou Mansion on Quyuan Street,

At the stall at the entrance of the Hou Mansion,

Shu Bo and others who set up stalls in the Hou Mansion put up signs saying 'free tasting' on their stalls.

Chu Zhan, on the other hand, took advantage of his tender face and invited passers-by to eat.

What I'm thinking is: Maybe someone will be attracted by Shu Bo's craftsmanship just like Hua Mama because of this free meal.

I can become a regular customer in the future!

In the palace,

The queen is sitting on the couch,

The little princess in pink and jade is sleeping soundly.

The evening breeze blew through the screened windows, scattering the cigarettes on the incense burner.

He took the test paper specially sent by the chief minister and looked at it carefully.

"Well, not bad. I can see that I have practiced my calligraphy carefully, and my writing is also good."

Zhao Fang took off his shoes and came behind the queen.

I imitated the nuns in the palace and pinched the queen’s shoulders:

"Mother, I heard from my father that Brother Jing's family has two handsome Northern Liao dragon colts. The child wants to go to the Xu family."

"Did your father say that?"

Listening to the queen's words, Zhao Fang hurriedly whispered:

"It's the queen my father said I want to go to."

Looking at his mother who got off the bed, put on her embroidered shoes and walked out, Zhao Fang said:

"Mother? What are you going to do? Wait for me, baby."

"If you like watching horses, just ask Brother Jing to bring the horses to the palace. Your father can just say so."

Half an hour later,

Concubine Rong’s bedroom,

The female officer came over quickly

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is coming tonight."

The girl from the Rong family returns to the snowy courtyard.

The maid Ningxiang came in holding a piece of paper.

Looking at Rong Feiyan who was exercising with a soft bow, she said, "Girl, this is the test results that were just sent to the government."

Rong Feiyan put the bow and arrows and wrench on the table and took the paper.

Looking at the name on it, she smiled and said, "I'll give you five guan as a reward. I'll treat it as hard-earned money."

"Girl, this is too much to reward"

"Then, let's go to Sanguan."

Sheng family,

There is a happy event at home,

Wei Ruixuan and Lin Qige each rewarded the servants in the courtyard.

Sheng Hong knew since noon that his two sons, especially the young Chang Feng, had passed the government examination.

I feel very good.

The eldest son-in-law also passed the government examination.

He was in a better mood.

At night,

The small kitchen of Shouantang prepared banquet noodles.

Mrs. Sheng made an exception and drank a glass of wine with Sheng Hong and his wife. The reason was because of the two grandchildren of the Sheng family.

There is also the reason why the two great-nephews of the Xu family passed away.

The two-bedroom concubine was not allowed to come.

Eat and drink enough,

Sheng Hong left Shou'an Hall and Wang Ruofu walked outside.

I don't know what he had in mind. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Madam, go back first. I'll go and see where Mang'er is."

Wang Ruofu nodded, it was not enough to go to Lin Sushuang's house anyway.

Anzhai today,

Wei Shuyi looked at Sheng Hong holding his youngest son in his arms and smiled lightly.

Sheng Hong raised his head and said:

"I'm sorry, what do you think will happen to our children in the future?"

Wei Shu said thoughtfully: "With the master's guidance, there will definitely be no difference."

"Ha ha ha ha."
